BioImagingUK Meeting
This pre-congress meeting provides an opportunity for the UK Bioimaging community to discuss priorities and strategies in national infrastructure, technology development, training, careers and ways to share knowledge across different disciplines. The session will consist of short talks from members of the BioImagingUK community and industrial/institute collaboration partners to update on progress, new opportunities and initiatives. There will be interactive Q+A sessions to encourage discussion and enable emerging priorities and ideas to be highlighted. The meeting is open to everyone with an interest in bioimaging, it is free to attend and can be added to your booking during the registration process.
